The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control module will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.
The following conditions may cause the fuel pump fuse to open:
• | The fuse is faulty. |
• | There is an intermittent short to ground in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump. |
• | The fuel pump has an intermittent internal condition. |

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools.
Note: An open or a short to voltage in the control circuit will cause both the Ckt. Open Test Status and the Ckt. Short Volts Test Status parameters to display Fault.
Ignition ON, command the fuel pump relay ON and OFF with a scan tool while observing the following control circuit status parameters:
• | Fuel pump relay Ckt. Short Gnd Test Status |
• | Fuel pump relay Ckt. Open Test Status |
• | Fuel pump relay Ckt. Short Volts Test Status |
Each parameter should toggle between OK and Not Run or Not Run and OK.
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the fuel pump relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the fuel pump relay control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
⇒ | If the fuel pump fuse is open, test for the following conditions: |
• | A short to ground in the relay switch B+ circuit |
• | A short to ground in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump |
⇒ | If the above circuits test normal, replace the fuel pump module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the fuel pump does not activate, test for the following conditions: |
• | An open/high resistance in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump |
• | An open/high resistance in the ground circuit of the fuel pump |
⇒ | If the above circuits test normal, replace the fuel pump module. |
⇒ | If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay. |

⇒ | If not the specified value, replace the relay. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the relay. |
